There's a lot of minor nuances to this, surprisingly. Overall, it's a self imposed exile, but the way the metaphors are used, it sounds moreso like they aren't actually locked away, literally, but moreso just 'wearing a mask' of sorts, hiding their true feelings and thoughts from others.
I'll never crawl again
I'll never fall again
Until I'm free
(Crawl before yeu walk; can't fall down if yeu just lay prone and give up for the time being. Can't be knocked down, hurt or whotever, if yeu don't get up after getting knocked down)
Here I stand in this room
Caged and trapped inside
Seems I'm damned to live a lie
(Doesn't seem actually literal; the "room" seems more to imply within her own mind. May be speaking with people, and interacting externally, but it's all "a lie", the true self being locked within her mind and not let free)
And I stare at light that makes me blind
Internally there's nothing left for me to be
(The light probably represents the 'outside' of the room, being reality in this case. Seeing it, she basically just stares longingly, wanting to be part of it, but unable to do so. Stuck in the 'room', her own mind, she's led to the conclusion she can't be herself, nor whot others want her to be, so just kind of shuts herself in)
The monsters make me hide
Perhaps I'll eat myself alive
Internally what is there left for me to be
(The monsters likely being fears, other people, judgmentalness, among other things. "eating myself alive", turning in on herself mentally, attacking her own thoughts with self destructive beliefs. And eventually questioning whot "can" she be, if she can't be herself, or whot others want her to be)
I can't care for what's left me behind
(She's "left out" from society, which has moved on without her, and she just doesn't care about it. On the other hand, she feels crap that she's alone, in a self imposed prison of her mind and emotions. She could leave the room at any time... in theory, but it's a lot harder to leave a prison of yeur own making, as yeu tend to bring it with yeu whereever yeu go)
Most likely, she probably is isolated physically to some degree, but it's unlikely she's actually physically stuck in a room she can't escape or anything, and it's all a metaphor for her own mind.

@Katsuni Old comment but I agree with you and @Greatoraint on this interpretation.
